Jama’at-Ulema-Islam-Fazl
(JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman
said on May 28 that his party extended
political and moral support to the
Afghan Taliban because they had
launched a jihad (holy war)
against the United States (US) forces
in Afghanistan, reports Dawn.
He said the Taliban were justified
in launching a war against the foreign
forces because their objective is
to liberate their homeland. He said
JUI-F would never allow the reopening
of NATO supplies routes and asked
the Government to take a decision
in light of recommendations of Parliament
on the issue. He said it would be
a shame for the nation if Pakistan
reopened NATO supplies just to get
dollars at the cost of national
interest. |
